Abstract

In this note, we consider the following problem, \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u=(1+g(x))u^{\frac{N+2}{N-2}},\ u>0\text{ in }B,\\ u=0\text{ on }\partial B, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where N3N\ge3 and BRNB\subset \mathbb{R}^N is a unit ball centered at the origin and g(x)g(x) is a radial H\"{o}lder continuous function such that g(0)=0g(0)=0. We prove the existence and nonexistence of radial solutions by the variational method with the concentration compactness analysis and the Pohozaev identity.
